How to work it out
- Turn the percentage into a decimal: 38 ÷ 100 = 0.38
- Multiply: 0.38 × 16 = 6.08
- Check: Work backwards: 6.08 ÷ 16 × 100 = 38%.
Another method. As a proportion of part to whole: 38/100 = part/16, so part = 38 × 16 ÷ 100 = 6.08. Both methods always give the same answer.
In a spreadsheet: =38%*16. Forgetting to divide the percentage by 100 makes the answer 100 times too big. Note that x% of y always equals y% of x.
What the result means
6.08 is the 38% share of 16. The remaining 62% is 9.92, and the two parts add back up to 16.

Adding and taking away 38%
Increasing 16 by 38% gives 22.08 and decreasing it by 38% gives 9.92. These do not cancel out: raising 16 by 38% and then lowering the result by 38% ends at 13.6896, because the second 38% is taken of a bigger number.
